i have no doubts that it will either be 'cracked' to allow it being stripped or bypassed entirely, via software on PC or mods on the playback devices.

No, there is nothing to crack. It's not encryption or key based. It's an inaudible to humans audio watermark. Removing a watermark of any kind is destructive, period.

The only way to bypass it, is to use a player that doesn't support it. It's not a big deal yet, as only the PS3, and one or two other players actually support it. And only one BD has it so far. It's being used mostly in cinemas to stop CAMs, but it could become a large issue if it takes hold in the BD market.
